      abstract = {I estimate how intra-household bargaining affects gay and  lesbian couples’ labor supplies, investigating their  similarity to heterosexual decision-making, in a collective  household framework. Data from the 2000 US Census show that  couples of all types exhibit a significant response to  bargaining power shifts, as measured by differences between  partners in age or non-labor income. In gay, lesbian, and  heterosexual cohabiting couples, a relatively young or rich  partner has more bargaining power and hence supplies less  labor, the opposite holding for his/her mate. Married  couples value the older spouse instead, or the richer. No  effects are found for same-sex roommates.},
